Hi Alan, the difference between both is that smalltype switches to the monospace font while small uses the default style (in most cases a serif font).

I would have expected "style=big", especially as the value "big" is already used in other contexts. > > Alan > > On Mon, 10 Sep 2018 22:16:04 +0200 > Wolfgang Schuster <wolfgang.schuster.lists(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> To limit the smaller font to \starttyping it should be >> >> \setuptyping [typing] [style=\ttxx] >> >> or >> >> \setuptyping [typing] [style=smalltype] >> >> because \starttyping is a generated command like \startXML. >> >> Wolfgang >> >> >> Taco Hoekwater schrieb am 10.09.18 um 11:32: >>> Hi Hans, >>> Replace your two setuptyping lines with: >>> >>> \setuptyping[style=\ttxx] >>> \definetyping[XML] >>> \setuptyping[XML][option=XML,style=italic] >>> >>> nothing else needs to change >>> >>> Best wishes, >>> Taco >>> >>> >>>> On 10 Sep 2018, at 11:22, Hans van der Meer <havdmeer(a)ziggo.nl> wrote: >>>> >>>> <typingsetup.tex> >>> Taco Hoekwater >>> Elvenkind BV >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> ___________________________________________________________________________________ >>> If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! >>> >>> maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context >>> webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net >>> archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ >>> wiki : http://contextgarden.net >>> ___________________________________________________________________________________ >> ___________________________________________________________________________________ >> If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! >> >> maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context >> webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net >> archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ >> wiki : http://contextgarden.net >> ___________________________________________________________________________________

xmlchainatt and xmllastatt
by Hans van der Meer 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

I found at best an inconsistency in the xml-mkiv manual and at its worst an omission in the code. I must conclude that \xmllastatt is not delivering the attribute retrieved with \xmlchainatt and that \xmllastatt seems restricted to calls of the \xmlatt family. This put me on the wrong foot for a while, because I understood the manual otherwise. Vide the minimal example given. dr. Hans van der Meer

setuptyping
by Hans van der Meer 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

I want to differentiate the typing of XML-code with \startXML and other text with \starttyping. That doesn’t work as I expect or I misinterpret something. The minimal example shows that in the following code there is no difference between using \startXML or \starttyping. dr. Hans van der Meer

Modes in tables
by Jan Willem Flamma 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear list members I would like to disable to third column in the question when mode BL is not enabled. When mode BL is enabled (using the toggle), the third column should of course appear again. How can I achieve this? Regards, Jan Willem MWE: \starttext %Toggles %\enablemode[BL] \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \hideblocks[question] \hideblocks[answer] \defineenumeration [question] [text=Question, after={\blank[2*big]}, inbetween={\blank[nowhite]}, way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter, prefix=yes] \defineenumeration [answer] [counter=answer, text=, width=, before={\blank[nowhite]}, after={\blank[nowhite]}, indenting=no, titledistance=1cm, location=inmargin, alternative=left, headstyle=, way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter, prefix=yes] \beginquestion \startquestion Calculate the hydrostatic pressure of the following fluid. \starttabulate[|lw(6cm)|lw(3cm)|\doifmode{BL}{p|}] \NC Well depth \NC 10100 ft \doifmode{BL}{\NC 3100 m} \NC \NR \NC Fluid density \NC 9.0 ppg \doifmode{BL}{\NC 1.08 kg/l} \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer 4726 psi\doifmode{BL}{ / 328 bar} \stopanswer \endanswer \startsection[title=Questions] \useblocks[question] \startsubsubsection[title=Answers] \useblocks[answer] \stopsubsubsection \stopsection \stoptext

Construct tables column after column
by Jan Willem Flamma 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear list members, Table are constructed row after row like in the code below: Building up a table row after row \par \bTABLE \bTR \bTC Row 1, Column 1 \eTC \bTC Row 1, Column 2 \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC Row 2, Column 1 \eTC \bTC Row 2, Column 2 \eTC \eTR \eTABLE But is it possible to construct tables column after column? (The code below does not generate output. I merely switched the xTC and xTR to illustate the idea) Building up a table column after column \par \bTABLE \bTC \bTR Column 1, Row 1 \eTR \bTR Column 1, Row 2 \eTR \eTC \bTC \bTR Column 2, Row 1 \eTR \bTR Column 2, Row 2 \eTR \eTC \eTABLE Kind regards, Jan Willem Flamma

Tabulate backgroundcolors
by Henri Menke 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear list, I'm trying to color the background of “p” cells in tabulate. The MWE below will fail with the error “Undefined control sequence \IMPOSSIBLE” but when I enter scrollmode to finish the run, I get a PDF which looks exactly as intended. Looks like it's not \IMPOSSIBLE after all but there is actually just a definition missing. Can you please fix this? Cheers, Henri --- \starttext \starttabulate[|CM{black}l|CM{gray}p|][distance=none] \HL \VL \color[white]{\bf Table NAME} \CM[black] \VL\NR \HL \VL \VL \bf Description: \VL\NR \HL \VL \VL \startitemize \dorecurse{60}{\item Item \recurselevel} \stopitemize \VL\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stoptext

Attempt to call a nil value
by Lars 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Hello list, since one of the last beta updates (now I have 2018.09.01) I can't use ConTeXt on my Win 10 32bit tablet anymore. I can't make PDFs because I get an error message. In fact, with CTX in my system path of course, even when I type the following into my command prompt, I get the same error: mtxrun --script context ./context.lua:11: attempt to call a nil value (method 'add_rule') This could have to do with the last adaption to Textadept 10. On my Win 10 x64 PC there is no problem. Any clues? Cheers and thanks, Lars.
